Reviews for Rainforest Cafe in Sunrise, FL
A wonderful place to be! Terrific theming and atmosphere. Would NOT recommend bringing a child below 3 or 4 years old, they tend... to get scared and overwhelmed. The lighting was perfect to not get sensory overload and the noises weren't too loud. The coconutshrimp was spectacular, great portions and unexpectedly spectacular taste. The hostess gave awful service, though. Had to waitfor her to stop having a conversation to notice me and some of the animatronics looked as if parts weren't functioning at fullcapacity and could definitely use an update (though I can understand why they won't, because the place is wonderfulregardless!!) But if not definitely need maintenance But those are the reasons for the star off. Other than that? Spectacularexperience. A bit pricey, so I'd look at the menu beforehand, but a wonderful experience that everyone should have at least once:) Read more
The restaurant it’s always fun to be and bring kids !! How ever this time I was on a hour wait list and finally they c All us... and the restaurant was empty maybe 20% capacity. Also the service very slow 20 minutes to get drinks 1 hours to get the food and20 minutes to try to pay !! On the food side was good and tasty big portions!! Read more
I personally will never be back. Ordered a pasta dish, had two bites. It was not good at all, the waitress also brought me a... different drink then the one I asked for because they supposedly didn’t have the one I wanted. But I didn’t like the oneshe brought me so I asked for a different drink and they charged me for both. (I only took a slip out of the first drink.). Iwent with my family and there fish wasn’t seasoned, and there other food was honestly bad. That being said. It’s like avery cute fake zoo for kids. Animals, and water and cute ambiance. I’m sure if you have the palate of a 5 year old you wouldalso like the food. Read more
Great dining experience. Food was great except one fundamental yet critical error. Hence the 3 star. Tuna pokeball. Raw fish... was served with HOT, steaming bowl of rice without any vinegar seasoning. This is a big no no as hot rice will alter the flavorof the fish. Red color of tuna was changing to slight seared color in the bowl. Not what I was expecting from this type ofrestaurant that charges this much for their plates. Other plates were great. Read more
Come for the nostalgia, stay for the surprisingly ok food. You don’t come here for amazing food, you come for the over the top... decorations and environment. Rainforest Cafe still delivers on kitsch, fake leaves, animatronic animals, and scheduledrainstorms. Their menu includes kid’s staples and other options like flatbreads, nachos, and seafood dishes. They also haveclassic sugary alcoholic drinks in memorable branded glasses. The salmon shrimp special and pork sandwich were better thanexpected. Is the food high quality? Not really. Is it super fresh? Probably not. But for a really heavily themed kid’srestaurant, it’s surprisingly ok and plated nicely. If you’re looking for a place that’s fit for your kids or your innerchild, this is a great nostalgic spot. Read more
The atmosphere and scenery is very beautiful. A five star was not provided due to the wait time. The wait to be seated and the... wait to received the food was too long. The food was delicious. Read more
Made reservations for lunch today primarily to bring our two young grandson's to eat and watch the animals & fish tanks. They... loved it. They were both wowed which makes me super happy. I think the food was good as well as the service. I was a bitdisappointed that it is not what it used to be. I remember years and years ago, the whole restaurant would get dark and all theanimals would make sounds at the same time and you could see & feel a mist in the air. That didn't happen today. They havesections, like tigers and elephants that "act" every 15mins or so. Again, it was fine for our grandkids but I just know what wehad experienced was better. Read more
Excellent experience at this location. The service was very courteous. Food was perfect and tasty. The kids will love the... interior setup - animals and fish tanks. The menu is not elaborate but that also makes it quick. Try sitting near the exhibitfor a closer look though it can get a bit noisy. Read more
